THE PRESIDENT.
He Had Fair Luck at Fishing
Yesterday.

PROSPECT HOUSE, N. Y, June s.
The president and Dr.. Rossman, after
an early breakfast, went off down the
lake with the guide to troll in the neigh
borhOod of Eagle Pond. They were on
the lake till dinner time, when
they landed. From O'Clock until
s they padded toward home troll
ing as they came. The president
got back with six good ''lakers'' weigh
ing from two to four pounds, the last of
which was caught by moonlight. On
his return the president found awaiting
him dispatch from the postmaster at
Malone, n. Y, announcing the death of
eX-Vice President Wheeler. At q
O'Clock this evening Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. Rossman gave
pleasant little informal tea to their
friends at the Saranac inn, Mrs.
Cleveland making and pouring the
tea, and Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. RoSsman
serving. The president may start on
his return to Washington on Thursday
next, but he has not positively fixed the
date of his departure from the lake.
The president tonight sent the follow
ing dispatch to Postmaster Burke at

VIII Probably Suffer Death.

ST. LOUIS, June A special from
Ell Paso, Tex, says: Gen. Lorenzo
Vega, the president of the Mexican
military court that sentenced the three
Negales invaders to death, is in Ell Paso,
and says that Col. Arvizua, Lieut.. Gier-
retz and the third prisoner. a civilian,
are still in Jail at Guaymas pending an
appeal for mercy to the president and
secretary of war in the City of Mexico.
They were tried by court martial,
composed of two generals and five
colonels, and promptly sentenced to
death on the two charges of kidnapping
and invading friendly territory. In
Mexican official circles it is not thought
the intercession of Secretary Bayard for
leniency will have the desired effect,
for the standing of Col. Arvizua in the
Mexican army is not of the best. There
is no sympathy for him among his
countrymen, and the death sentence
will undoubtedly be executed. A num-
Der of serious charges have been pre-
ferred against him on previous occa-
SionS.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER DEAD.
The Ex-Vice President Goes Pain
lesSlY to His Rest.

MALONE, n. Y, June 4.-The death
of ex-Vice President Wheeler occurred
this morning. 1t was painless, and life
went out so gradually and quietly that
1t was hard to mark the exact moment of
its flight. Mr.. Wheeler, whose vitality
had been decreasing gradually through
the past six years, retained his usual
vlgor up to perhaps six months ago.
From that date he has failed rapidly.
He was tortured terribly by insomnia
and neuralgia, and was also afflicted
with catarrh of the bladder. He never
fully rallied from that attack. and mind
and body wasted away together. There
has probably been softening of the brain,
and for weeks he was irrational. This
brain affection was the immediate cause
of death. Last Monday he sank into a
state of uncOnsciousneSS, from which he
was never fully aroused except for a
moment or two. Since Wednesday he
had not spoken or given any sign of
recognition of friends or what was going
on around him. He had no near relative
in the world to minister to him during
his illness or watch by his death bed.
A number of his deceased wife's rela-
tlyeS and friends were grouped around
his bedside when the sad hour came.
1 uO dppIOdCn VI uctt1 WAS SO SrdQudl
that it causes no public shock even here
at his home, though there is universal
sorrow among the people. Flags are at
half mast and emblems of mourning are
displayed. The funeral will be held at
l p. m. on Tuesday, June Z, at the Con-
gregational church, with sermon by
the pastor, to whom Mr.. Wheeler had
been almost second father. A meet
ing of citizens was held this evening
and appointed committees to arrange
for citizens memorial service, to be
held on Tuesday evening, at which the
men who were the associates and friends
OF his youth and earlier manhood will
express their own and the country's
love for him. President Cleveland, who
is in the Adriondacks, and within few
hours ride of here, has been apprised of
Mr.. Wheeler's death, and the time of
the funeral. The following telegram
was received to-day:
Fremont, o., June Mrs. Hayes and Il
have heard with deepest sorrow of the death
of our frie nd Mr. Wheeler will attend
the funeral with my son. r. B. HAYES.

A Desperate Bear Move.

CHICAGO, June At was rumored on
'change here and telegraphed. to other
points to-day, that legal proceedings had
been begun against p. D. Armour,
charging him with cornering pork. In
explanation of the rumor an afternoon
paper says: "a pool of $40, 600 was made
up last week among the big bears, and
Charley Wright, well known charac-
ter about the board of trade, was in
duced to file complaint before Justice
Brayton, charging p. d. Armour with
cornering pork. This move is the result
of the heavy losses made by the big
short sellers in the wheat pit and the OBJ
ject is said to be to break the wheat
market. The news has been carefully
kept from the public until to-day, but
the advance of cents bushel III June
wheat made it an opportune time to try
its effect on the market. 1t fell fiat. In
stead of the wheat crowd being demor-
allied the price simply kept on advanc-
ing. The opinion on the board was
that the whole thing was rather des-
perate bear move which had been made
ridiculous by the lack of interest with
which the news was received.

incoherent story full of palpable lies

the course of which Norwood got into a
quarrel with somebody, whose name she

soon went out and did not return. The
efforts of the detectives are directed to
the discovery of the gray-haired man.
